In Russian and many other Slavic languages, God.
In Cyrillic: Бог
Sounds just like the English word "bog".

1) A Serbian proverb:
Cyrillic: Бог високо, a Русија далеко.
Latin: Bog visoko, a Rusija daleko.
Translation: God is high above, and Russia is far away. (Meaning that help is far and unlikely.)
2) A Russian Proverb:
Cyrillic: Бог тро́ицу лю́бит.
Latin: Bog troitsu lyubit
Translation: God likes trinity.
(Similar to "third time's the charm".)

In English, a man's name meaning "a patrician, or a noble".
Some folks name their kids Patrick because of their Irish background, or after Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.
Patricks range from the super athletic (such as Patrick Eaves) to the theatrical elite (such as Patrick Swayze) to great political thinkers (such as Patrick Pearse).
Patrick can be shortened to Pat and Paddy, and can be feminized as Patty, Pat, or Patricia. There are over three dozen different translations for the name.
Patrick is an iconic name for the Irish people, especially the Irish men, though Russians, Dutchmen, and others who aren't necesarily Irish or Irish-related have been named Patrick, too.
Interestingly, the accredited source of the name, Saint Patrick, wasn't Irish at all! He was actually a Roman citizen of Britain.

There have been several PATRICKs throughout history. Saint Patrick was a great Scottish missionary, Patrick Pearse wrote plays and supported the Easter Rising, and Paddy Bradley's an Irish footballer.
As for me, Patrick, I hope to become a great actor and singer. Maybe even a writer or director.

The ability to do what you ought to do. Often confused with license, which is the ability to do whatever you want.
Why is freedom the ability to do what you OUGHT to do, and not what you WANT to do?
If we take it as a given that freedom is universal (or should be), then freedom cannot be whatever YOU want it to be. Let's say, for example, that you wanted to kill me. Your "freedom" would infringe on my own "freedom". Or let's say you wanted to raise taxes on me to increase your own freedom. That detracts from MY freedom.
Therefore, if all of us are entitled to freedom, this definition of freedom is invalid because it doesn't safely entitle everyone universal freedom.
The definition I have posted, that freedom is being able to do what one OUGHT to do, however, IS freedom because when one does what he OUGHT to do, instead of what he wants to, he infringes on no one else's freedom. He disrupts no one in their freedom, but instead directs them TO freedom if they are not free. The only person who can limit your freedom in a society where freedom is doing good is oneself.

Father Corapi preaches the difference between freedom and license. Freedom is what Christianity is all about. God made us to be FREE. And even if that is what the Illuminati want, let's baffle 'em and be free in God!

The cause of the persecution and extermination of all religion and religious people in Albania, as well as the persecution of Moslems, Jews, Orthodox Christians, Catholic Christians, ETC., during the Cold War.
Many atheist states have persecuted the religious in the way many atheists have condemned Christians for doing back in the Middle Ages.
Need I say more?

Quote: "From year 1967 to the end of the totalitarian regime, religious practices were banned and the country was proclaimed officially atheist, marking an event that happened for the first time in world history."
Making an atheist state will not solve the problems of the world.
